03 Wrx Trunk Leak

My trunk has been leaking on the drivers side. Has anyone had this problem? Seems like it's leaking from where the spoiler is attached. Took the spoiler off and RTV'd the point of contact and it still leaks. Any thoughts? Perhaps it's time to go wingless nad get a CF trunk.

Did you try and check in the section where the car jack is located?? When I went through the same problem, water would build up in that section and a small puddle of water of the end result. Thought the water came from the holes of the spoiler too but came to find out that the rubber pad covering thingy thats on the tail lights when you take them off were ripped. So my theory was when raining or wasing the car, the water that falls off the rear windshield trickles off into the water channels that lead down and out to the rear bumper. And some portions of the trickled water would enter through the ripped/damaged tail light rubber cover thingy. So thats how the water puddle build up occured. hope this helps!!
